In short good idea but poor implementation.

The whale point of this device is that it holds the knee cup into the place, however the opening is very narrow and plastic is too harsh, so there is no way to adjust it to user's knee cup size and as such is useless.

The strap is cutting into the leg, also since it's not Velcro it won't stretch while you walk, and as a result it pulls the plastic down.

Not worth it. I'm returning it.

After having four major knee surgeries on my right knee and with osteoarthritis my knee was always in pain. I read an article about Kneed IT in USA Today and purchased it. When I saw the product I was disappointed but decided to try. I can honestly say I am knee pain free when I used Kneed IT. In addition to my job I coach High School baseball and am on my feet a lot. I can now breeze through practice and walk home without any knee pain. I tried injections and other treatments but this is the best product on the market. I highly recommend it.

A tennis buddy recommended this and it has helped when ever I get my knee inflamed. It allows me to walk and do ballet and just keep moving.

Immediately upon receipt, I donned a Kneed It for each knee. Within a few minutes, I could tell that my arthritic knees began to feel better. I wear them every day even when I don't exercise. I find that my pain is reduced and my mobility is improved. To reduce the absorbtion of sweat, I also apply some deodorant to my knees every morning as part of my dressing routine. This has been effective in reducing the odor. I also have treated them with Fabreeze. I am very happy with product.

As an Athletic Trainer who specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to athletes, I whole-heartedly recommend this product. Using the Kneed-It in conjunction with proper therapy (ice, strengthening, and stretching) can dramatically affect patellar tendinitis. I recommend the Kneed-It patellar tendinitis brace to all of my high school athletes who suffer from this condition.

This product definitely relieved a lot of my patellar pain associated with chrondomalacia. I found the strap easily adjustable and comfortable. It even stays in place during fairly deep bending motions. I wore the bands during a 17 mile training run on very rough terrain-I doubt my knees would have survived the run without the bands. I suspect that the way this band cups the knee cap makes it more effective than other knee straps I have tried-probably due to the improved patellar tracking. Even helped me to start leg pressing and squating again at the gym! Also great when hiking up and down steep terrain.

Last summer I had an incident that resulted in having the cartilege in both knees crushed by carrying excessive weight up stairs. I was unable to drive, in intense pain, on crutches and on very strong narcotic pain meds. As soon as the acute phase let up, I ordered two of these knee braces. Where before it was very uncomfortable to put any weight on my legs, these knee braces stabilized my knee caps and kept my upper and lower legs in alignment. They worked amazingly well - better than I expected but thought I didn't have anything to lose to try them. They exceeded my expectations! After a few months I did not require them anymore. I know they accelerated the healing and gave me a lot of pain relief by keeping my legs and knees stable. The only difficulty I had was occasional slippage out of position. It takes awhile to determine how tight to make then vs. having then slip down. Excellent product concept and very reasonable price for the benefit gained!

My friend who is a doctor recommended this for me. I used to use the regular neoprene black brace that just goes under the knee. But this one has helped my knee problem (jumper's knee). I have been using it pretty regularly, and it makes a difference whether I'm wearing this or not. If I don't wear it, my jumper's knee bothers me.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with extensive experience in orthopedics and sports rehabilitation, I have found that although this knee brace is easy for my patients and clients to put on an off currectly, and it does immediately reduce knee pain, the quality of the construction of the product appears faulty.

I have issued them to several patients/clients only to have them returned within 1-2 days due to the plastic breaking simply as they tighten down the velcro strap (not overly pulling either).

So although the basic design and principle is excellent (best pain relief out of all the other standard patellar straps), the actual product is sadly lacking in basic levels of durability. They need to go back to the design board and use materials that will hold up under the pressure. Then they will have a product I will gladly and eagerly dispense and recommend to my patients and clients.

Until then, do not waste your money on this device. Go to your PT to learn how to tape your knee or get a Cho-pat or Double Cho-pat knee brace.

Not very comfortable on my knee and it keeps moving around so I have to constanstly keep repositioning it.
